I do like VANMOOF bikes

[Deleted member 35268]

Following my recent trip to Amsterdam, I fell in love with the Vanmoof bikes parked up everywhere.

As a road bike cyclist (Giant Defy etc) I am not usually into town bikes, but these are just so god dam(n) [sic] cool I want one for my commute.

Didn't realise the S3's are electric. Not much on ebay, one or two non electric ones which would be fine, and the rest are £1500+

We will see...

They do look unique don't they. Quite cool.
See a good few in and about London on the commute.

A work colleague has one, the electric version. Its a very nice piece of kit for a commuter / around town type of bike. some pretty innovative features too.

A few 3.1s (non-electric) Single Speeds on gumtree for £220/275

So it is possible for me to get one!!!

Vanmoof have a bad reputation for deliveries and breakdowns. Read some reviews before you commit.

Someone where I used to work had one. Always admired it in the bike shed. I really like the way the top tube extends.

I saw one at my local station the other week. Got chatting and they are certainly an interesting machine I thought. Wouldn't want one as I like a do it all full on tourer but a great bike nonetheless.

I see one, locked up, on my way to work, every morning. It’s so different, you can’t help but look.

I love the look of Van Moof bikes. I wish I had had one.

I think they used to but there are one or two imitators of their big fat sticky-out tube look nowadays

I was looking at getting one on the Cycle to Work scheme until I tried one out - I just couldn't get on with the automatic gearbox as it didn't suit my riding style. Other than that it was a great bike, very comfortable on the big tyres.

My daughter wants one. I told her it's form over function. There are much better bikes out there. I do agree they look very tidy, but lack reliability, torque for steep hills and a too clever auto shift.

I steered her to look at Reisse Muller bikes for quality. The Homage caught her eye - boy it's expensive with extras added too.

I then showed her my ebike from China, similar style to the Homage, more torque, full suspension, same headlight , and not proprietary equipment. Also way less than half the cost of the Homage including two 840Wh batteries
